whipped the motor out ,got it on the stand great piece of kit added wheels to it so I can role it about great that you can rotate the motor with it , cleaned up the engine put new clutch plates in new plugs a lick of paint can't wait till the covers are all polished gonna look smart took the paint back off the edges of the fins just to break up the black a little may even help with cooling

Oh and here's a sneak preview of the final colour scheme quite a classic look but the deep candy red really pops in the sun my rubbish phone doesn't do it justice got a few bits painted started with the front fender then the headlamp and electrics tray and rear seat hump

cheers mate things going a lot slower these days but so long as its going forward I know i'le gonna get there some day got the exhausts welded up still need grinding and polishing but daren't show my crappy welds so pics of finished pipes only whenever that will be haha one thing I did try my hand at was to respoke the front & rear wheels its still a dark art but I got it yeah pics show how it went including polishing the hubs and repaint the centres and added the fresh boots too

Thanks yozz long time since I felt a sense of achievement from a project but by getting the hang of re-spoking and trueing the wheels feel like im getting some where gotta keep the grey matter working haha hope you & the family are doing ok any projects in the pipeline ?
